Applied Comm 12 Checklist for Tuesday, May 19, 2009

1. Make sure your final draft of your “This I Believe” Essay is done and in the INBOX.
2. Final Budget spreadsheet is in the INBOX.
3. Career is indicated as the headline on your Wikispace PGP page.
4. Top 10 list is finalized and typed on the Wikispace page.
5. A separate link is created on your main PGP page to your budget page. Your budget spreadsheet is copied and pasted there, with two links: one to your housing site with your rental listed, one to the site where you found your starting salary.
6. At least 10 pictures are saved on your h:/ drive which go with each fact on your top 10 list. Create your Photo Story.

How do I add or remove a link on my page?
1. Click "Edit This Page."
2. Type in and highlight the text you wish to link and click the chain link icon in the toolbar to add a new link.
3. Another window will come up with an option to create a link to a page in your wiki or to link to a website. Type in the page name to create a page in your wiki. If you want to link to a website, click on the tab “External Link” and paste the website address into the address bar. Remember, if you are creating a new page in your wiki, make sure you put your name in the page name. For example, don’t call your budget spreadsheet “budget” because other people will. Call it “Susan’s Budget”—something that has your name in the page name. Keep the name as short as possible.
4. To remove a link, highlight the link, and hit the broken link icon

How do I spell check my work on the wiki?
Some browsers, including Firefox 2, have built in spell checkers, where misspelled words will be underlined in red. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can download a spell check browser extensions, such as ieSpell . Or, do everything in a Word document first and copy and paste it in. (Be careful with formatting, as it might change when you paste it in.)
